Good to see that the right way to forward a patch from another
person is used, but is this a GSoC project?
Yes, it is. I forgot to add the [GSoC] tag in the last series of patches.
The reason I asked was because IIRC GSoC was not supposed to be team
effort but "summer job" by individual students.
Before starting working on this, I discussed with Joel and ask
him whether I could take custody of this patches. He was open
to the idea, so I continued to build on top of them. Since then,
I have made some changes to his code and also added a lot more of
my own.
What I did was to completely convert git stash and apply some
more optimizations on top of that, like reducing the number of
spawned processes. Due to this kind of improvements I was able
to significantly reduce the execution time and this has visible
effects, running about 3 times faster.
Please do not get me wrong, I do not want to bash Joel or his work.
I just wanted to make it clear that I did not copy his work or made
it look like it was mine. After Joel agreed to hand the patches off
to me [1], every line of code that I wrote was written by myself,
without his (or anyone else) assistance. I really did my best to finish
this project and I believe that my mentor, dscho, can also confirm this.
I am really sorry for the confusion.
